The Party of "No"

Technorati and Me

Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix
the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M.
and the guys at
GetSatisfaction.com
where they have "community powered support for Technorati".

Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape
delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they
pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday
listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.

Wankers.

New Jersey election officials say they will allow registered voters to vote
electronically and will also accept paper ballots through Monday, November
19th, as long as they are postmarked by election day, November 5.

"To help alleviate pressure on polling places, we encourage voters to either
use electronic voting or the extended hours at county offices to cast their
vote," said Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno.

The electronic voting process is used by overseas residents and service
members, but this is the first time New Jersey has allowed voters in the
state to vote this way.

Essex County Clerk Chris Durkin told NBC 4 New York the program is being run
on an honor system, relying on voters to only use the system if they truly
can't get to his or her polling place.

Here's my prediction. Fifteen minutes before the polls close tomorrow there
will be a sudden surge in email ballots arriving at Durkin's office. Every
single one of those ballots will be marked with straight-line Democrat votes.
And the average age of the "honor system" voters will be 82 years old.

And then there's this:

Since officials couldn't figure out a way to confirm a voters name and print
the completed ballot without an election worker looking the voters' choices
while handling the ballots, voters will have to check off a waiver of privacy.
